Great Location

My husband and I stayed at the Flamingo Hostel for 3 nights in a private double room. The hostel offers breakfast each morning and a lot of help with any activities or things to do while visiting. The location was amazing, just steps from the main square.

after travelling all around Poland this was by far the worst hostel ive stayed in - the staff were rude -- Laughing at our questions in our faces in polish- no introductory information about the city eg maps or bar/restaurant recontamination (even when asked)- spent hours happily chatting with other males guests while my friends and i received nothing but one word answers

I had other guests come ask me questions about the tours offered because they could get nothing out of the girls at reception ( this happened on 2 occasions )

Aside from the location - the dorms were stuffy, noisy, we had furniture being moved in and out of our room at strange hours.

I would not recommend this hostel to my friends or stay there again.

Great breakfast spread. We had three different kinds of meats, cheeses, cereal, etc. I found the front desk to be super friendly and all the girls that work there are super cute (if you are into that sort of thing). I found my room/bed to be clean and didn't experience any bed bugs.

This hostel is located right smack in the middle of the party district. So, if you want a quiet hostel, this is NOT it. You can hear all the loud music from the clubs downstairs. One of my roommates was from a different part of Poland, came special to Krakow to party. I swear all he brought was a small backpack, a large bottle of Vodka, and McDonald's.

Very good location, a few meters from the main square and next to night clubs.

Other than that, we were frustrated with this hostel. Unbearably hot rooms due to lack of airflow, we had to sleep with the door open to make through it. 2 out of 3 showers didn't have hot water. Noisy guests during the night. Worst hostel from our summer eurotrip, and it was highly regarded in theory. Breakfast is very good though.

I stayed 1 night here with no problem, although it was hot. After my second night, I woke up in the morning to discover the girl in the top bunk had bed bugs! They managed to give her a different bed, but she had bites all over her arms. As I threw the sheet off myself getting out of bed I discovered a LIVE baby bed bug! After I got cleaned up, I confronted the girl at the front desk, and she basically said that since SHE didn't see it, then it wasn't a problem! I told her that she didn't need to see it, because I DID. She offered to call the surrounding hostels for availability, and found one at a lower price. If you go to Krakow, DO NOT stay at this place unless you want bed bugs! All they did for the other traveler was change her sheets. I'm SO happy I left that dirty place!

After reading their website we were expecting a lot more than we were met with. The rooms were nice and the shower facilities were good. The common areas were quite dark and seeing as the hostel wasn't full it made it seem a lot emptier than it was. The location was excellent, however its central location meant that at night time if you weren't going out it was fairly noisy. The staff were fairly pleasant and we were given free cake :) I expect that during busier times this would be an excellent hostel! I hope to come back, I loved Poland!
